Pumpkin Patch

You don't gave to go to a crowded pumpkin farm to get a pumpkin or even to have fun. We have a neighborhood farmer who has all the things I need to decorate my house AND for kids to have some fun.
We had the Flory boys overnight and with the great weather decided to go buy some pumpkins to carve. We told them they could get the biggest ones that they could carry.

bigger the better

Ok, so maybe just lifting was a chore, but with the price of just $5 is was worth watching them try.
They had a fun time looking in the pot of body parts. I stayed far away. Yuck!

They ran around the skeletons with Papa.

They met Beaves and Butthead. They asked who they were and we told them to ask their Father. He loved that show. He can decide whether they are old enough to watch it. They got a kick out of the names.

They each got to pick out a strange looking gourd and a smaller pumpkin to fill the cart. Each was only 50 cents.

Roger can't decide which one

Our Full Load

 We had a great time with no crowds, cost kept to a minimum and 5 minutes from our house.
We didn't get around to carving them. We left that for a project to do with Daddy and Mommy.

The boys had a great time, but we had to get back - there were leaves to rake. The boys did a really good job with the big rakes.
 It brought me back to my childhood and raking the leaves from our oak trees in our backyard. Laying in the leaves with a magnifying glass and watching them burn. I'm gonna have to show them that trick someday.
  I love the fall!!!
